As long as the spoiler was factory installed and not an aftermarket option, we have a trunk mounted bike racks that would work well for you.

The Thule OutWay, part # TH45JV would also be a great choice. The OutWay features rubber coated straps that make installation and removal very quick and easy. Before installing a trunk-mounted bike rack, make absolutely certain that all vehicle surfaces that the rack will touch as well as the rack are completely clean and free of grit.

For womens bikes or bikes with sharply angled top tubes or step-through frames, using a frame adapter like part # TH982XT is recommended. The adapter spans the distance between the seat post and the handle bar gooseneck, and provides a level attachment point to the bike rack so the bike is not carried at an angle.
